Stringy Pot Holders

More string things. I made some pot holders for my future DIL and ...
my daughter. Both girls love the ocean.
For "Marcab77" and "crmanina", you can go to this site to get all the directions for the spider web string quilt done by Bonnie Hunter. Have fun!

Stringing Along Part 2

Triangles ready to be trimmed.
All trimmed and ready to sew together.
Chain piecing, chain piecing, chain piecing.
Four more blocks to add to the others.
Here is what I have so far. I think I am going to make two more rows which will make a nice lap quilt. And you can be sure I have a lot of fabric to pick from those two paper bags I put it all in.

A New Week

This past week and the weekend were very busy for me but in my down time I did manage to get the binding on my quilt. I did use the binding technique by Sharon Schamber. I am very pleased with how my binding finished up. Now I just need to get the sleeve and label on and it will be ready for our local guild quilt show in April.

This past Friday night my husband and I volunteered at our church as it held a preview of the movie called Letters to God. The movie is based on a true story about a boy named Tyler with cancer. All the proceeds from the ticket sales that night went to Cancer Services. We had a very good turn out. The movie comes out April 9 and if it comes to your city you should check out. It is a very sweet movie and it will touch your heart.

Yes, it is a new week and I have things I want to accomplish this week. I know you all do too and I hope it is a very good week for each of you.

What Have I Been Up To?

I have not been up to much as far as quilting goes but I have decided to do some deep spring cleaning of my home. I blame it on the beautiful weather we were having. The next few days we are going to have rain. I have the kitchen left.
I have started a new applique project. Like I don't have enough to do already! but this is just a wall hanging so it shouldn't take too long.
I am having company this weekend too. So with all that is going on I will be back to blogging next week. Talk to you then.

Stringing Along!

Hit the pause button! to finish two more of Stina's little hearts and to get the binding on the quilt I just back from the quilter. Three more corners to go.
